Denise Samson, Christine Steer and Susanne Tarle have dedicated a significant amount of their time and energy to the Cornwall Handi Social Club, an organization that matches volunteers with adults who have physical disabilities. Mrs. Tarle founded the club to provide people with limited mobility the opportunity to share common interests and struggles. Mrs. Samson served as the club's vice-president, ensuring members could participate in various activities, such as bowling and swimming. Ms. Steer supports her fellow volunteers who work and live with the club's clientele. The trio also volunteers with many other organizations, including the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, Meals on Wheels and the Children's Aid Society.
